How Our Chronic Care Program Works

Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a careful review of your medical history, current symptoms, medications, prior evaluations, vital signs, and lab results. This allows us to understand your baseline and how your conditions are affecting your daily life.

Just as important, we listen to your concerns and goals. This first step creates a clear foundation so your care plan is built with intention, context, and understanding.

Plan & Education

We create a clear, practical care plan tailored to your needs, supported by simple visuals and patient-friendly handouts. Our goal is to help you understand not only what to do, but why each step matters.

Education is woven into this process so you feel informed, confident, and supported as you move forward with your care.

Medication Optimization

We thoughtfully review and adjust medications to support better control while minimizing side effects and unnecessary complexity. When possible, we simplify regimens to reduce interactions and make daily care easier to maintain.

The aim is treatment that feels balanced, effective, and manageable over time.

Lifestyle & Rehab

We support your health through practical guidance around nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. These everyday foundations play an important role in long-term stability and resilience.

When helpful, we coordinate referrals to physical therapy or other allied care to support recovery, mobility, and function as part of your overall plan.

Monitoring & Follow-up

We monitor meaningful trends such as home blood pressure, peak flow readings, symptoms, and lab results over time. This allows us to see patterns rather than isolated data points.

Follow-up visits are typically scheduled every four to twelve weeks, giving us the opportunity to fine-tune your plan thoughtfully and support steady progress.

Specialist Coordination

When specialty care is needed, we help coordinate referrals and communication. Our role is to ensure your care plan remains clear, unified, and as simple as possible, even when multiple providers are involved.

This coordination helps reduce fragmentation and allows you to focus on healing rather than logistics.
